Is The WWE Really THAT Bad...?

PeaceSells · 04-18-2008, 03:01 PM

Well, in this diary I'm going to basically use EWR and real WWE results to see if the WWE really is that bad!

It will pick up from last Monday's RAW results (14th April).

And that's about it, no backstory needed.

-------------------

God · 04-18-2008, 03:05 PM

Pfft ToL used EWR ages ago.

How unoriginal

PeaceSells · 04-18-2008, 03:38 PM

I've never seen it done with real results though so surely that's original? lol

Thought it'd be interesting saying so many say WWE's so awful thesedays.

Anyways, I'll get RAW and ECW up soon so I'm up to date.

Are they all going to be close enough to what happened or will you be switching it up?

PeaceSells · 04-19-2008, 07:44 AM

I was considering doing a diary beside this one which is taking the WWE's current feuds and the basis of their results and doing what I think should have happened that week to compare.

Anyways...

• Singles
• MVP vs Tommy Dreamer
• No title
• MVP wins

Bam and Chavo then get taken out by both men whilst Edge leaves the ring. Vickie then comes out and announces due to these actions both these men will be punished next week as they will face off for the World Heavyweight Title in a rematch. How that punishes Batista is beyond me, but anyways.

Notes:

• Hawkins and Ryder both gained overness.
• Taker and Batista both lost overness.

Why PeaceSells did it: I could only involve one run-in after the match and as Edge is the most important and over man I went with him. As I’d a spare segment I threw that tag attack in to involve the Edgeheads as well.

Overall Rating: 60%

So...SmackDown! officially sucks tbh.

I watched all 3 shows this week and SD! was very much the least interesting of the three. So.. to this point, I'd have to agree with the results and yes, Batista needed that heel change that doesn't appear to be happening.
